A volt meter. You could get a cheapy at Radio Shack or Sears.
You could also get a voltage finder -- basically a large pen looking
device having lights and a wire on one end.

Sorry, but I assumed you have some basic electrical skills. If this is
beyond what you feel comfortable with, you may want to ask someone else
to do it. (there's no shame in asking a friend for help).
